    Disassembly has begun on the body. Sandblasting has revealed several trouble areas.   Poorly performed body repairs are being dug out and removed and all existing metal is being blasted to remove all contaminents and rust.  Next, Metal-Prep will be used to kill all the rust deep down in the pores of the metal.  Afterwards patch panels will be purchased or fabricated to replace the damaged sheet metal panels.
